We know that Donut Media will feature heavily in the next Series and now we have a new Forza Horizon 5 update to truly highlight the theme of Thursday's new Series.
The latest update also brings in a huge raft of improvements, added car customisation, and four new cars too.
Let's see what the patch notes have in store for us.
Forza Horizon 5 update
As is usual before a new Series, the update to FH5 lays the ground for the new content and has taken some time to fix a few bugs.
The biggest point for those that love the single-player side of FH5 is the addition of the Donut Media @ Horizon Story.
This will feature the Donut Media Test Track as a new location on the map.
Along with that there are new Donut Media clothing items, emotes, ForzaLink, and a collectible. There are also eight new Accolades for players to go after.
New cars
Four fresh cars are hitting Mexico in this update. Three have been seen in Horizon before, but one is brand new.
Our favourites are the wooden-framed duo, the 1953 Morris Minor Series II Traveler and 1965 Morris Mini-Traveller.
These two are making their return to Forza Horizon along with the 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Station Wagon.
The only brand-new car is the 2020 Lynk & Co #62 Cyan Racing 03.
